1t Looked Like Fight But Was n
Rank HippOdrOme.

RANK HlDDOurOIne.
There have been certain disclosures
made concerning the alleged fight be-
tween Glow and Hanley at the exposition
annex, Thursday night, that are calcu-
lated to detract somewhat from the
boasted prowess of the champion of
Colorado" Glow has been held up by
his hackers and admirers ever since he
came to Oma iia as square man who
would not take part in hippodroming
arrangement under any circumstances.
He has himself carded the fact that he
has been troubled by small fry pugilists
who have been trying to induce him to
make gate receipt fakes. His answer to
these people was that he would fight any
100 pound man in the world for money
but would not fight for glory, The ad-
mirers of such spirit will doubtless be
surprised to learn that the match at the
exposition annex on Thursday night was
made under the following first class hip
podroming agreement:
Articles of agreement between John p
Glow and Jack Hanley, March 0, 1857;
We both agree TO box five friendly rounds
on the evening of the 10th day of March, 1887.
the receipts over and above all expenses to
be evenly divided between us. We mutually
agree that Mr.. Foley, of Foley & Darst, and
MIR. Ed Rothery take charge of the door and
box Office. We also agree to divide the re-
ceipts before either of us appear oh the stage
to box. We agree to use siX-Ounce gloves.
JACK G.. HAN.EY,
JOHN p. Glow.
Previous to the signing of this agree
ment flash set of articles had been
signed, in which it was stipulated that
Glow should forfeit 500 in event of his
failure to knock Hanley out in five
rounds. This money was to be placed in
Jack Morrison's hands, but did not ma
teralize. The public was deceived too
match was brought about, and as it seems
to be in the style now to expose the
crooked in sports, the facts may be
given. From CLOVIS card in the paper
it was inferred that he had made the
match to teach lesson to some of the
small fry pugilsts" who, he alleged,
had been bothering HIM. The facts show
a very different state of affairs. A short
annex with the :" Marine" Glow ap.
preached him and wanted to make
match Hanley objected on the ground
that he had one match on his hand al
ready and could not make another. Glow
then tried to induce Hanley to postpone
the match with Lal>lanche and arrange
one with him. This Hanley refused to do
and the matter was dropped until after
LaBlanche's visit to Omaha, during which
the match was made for the fight to a
finish between Hanley and LaBlanche
which will take place to morrow night in
| St. Paul. Immediately after this Glow
again went to Hanley and wanted to
make match. Hanley stated that on
account of his match with LaBianche he
could not think of going into another
E,.kN al.
statement of Hanley and his hacker, Ed
Rothery, that Glow proposed the hippo
| droming arrangement shown above.
Glow, it Is asserted, begged of Hanley to
make the match, that they would draw
a good house and that he needed
the money badly After good
deal OF preliminary work the
match was made and the above agree
ment signed. Hanley was IN no condi-
ton for the match and would not have
thought of entering it had ne an idea
that It was to be anything different than
had been agreed. A few DAYS before the
fight Glow gave it out among his friends
that he was going after Hanley and
would try to Knock HIM out. Hanley
heard of this and went to Glow and asked
him about it. Glow replied that he had
been making such cracks but claimed
that it was done for the benefit of the
house. He assured Hanley that they
would go on and make a lively mill that
would satisfy the house and result in a
draw. With this understanding Hanley
went into the ring in condition that
would have warranted his being IN bed
Glow saw this and took mean advan-
tage of it by rushing Hanley and striking
( him foul the first dash. The result is well
known. Glow succeeded in getting Il
little cheap notoriety and some money
out of the fight and left Hanley in very
embarrassing condition. There is no
| question but that Glow would whip
Hanley in fight to finish and there is
no question but that he could not stop
HIM IN five rounds with any kind of
| gloves.
